Emissions from new vehicles – trustworthy? Euro 6/VI vehicle technology – 2015 status

Utslipp fra nye kjøretøy – holder de hva de lover? Avgassmålinger Euro 6/VI - status 2015

The air quality in several Norwegian cities don’t comply with the limit values for nitrogen oxide (NO₂). The European Free Trade Association (EFTA) control body, EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA), has criticised Norway for allowing high concentrations of NO₂ and for not doing enough to reduce the problems. On behalf of Transportøkonomisk institutt (TØI), VTT in Finland performed exhaust emission tests in a certified laboratory. The tests show that buses and Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV) with new Euro VI certified engines have very low emissions of Nitrous Oxide, NOₓ and exhaust Particulate Matter (PM). The reductions are over 90% compared with earlier generations of HDVs. New Euro 6 light vehicles with diesel engines still have a problem with high emissions of NOₓ. New knowledge make it possible to implement more accurate measures when reducing emissions of NOₓ and PM from road traffic is needed.
